Thanks

Thank you but these rims are best suited on "pimp my ride" going ghetto real fast.

But there is no way I'd rock these on any of my cars.

Ansar Bhai,

After looking over the car with great detail I am 100% sure that I am really not happy with few things on the car.

1, Black bumpers

(Only reason they are painted is because they are from a sedan and were made to fit therefore can’t be chrome

2, Black side stripes

(Was an experiment that went really bad but will be removed soon.

3, Front air dam

(Will be removed because its bolt on.)

4, Rims

(I really can’t decide what I'd like to see on the car at the moment but when I find the right rims.... these rims are going back on my orange
markII)

5, They couldnt fit BMW lights on it because there is just no room and I hate it but have no other choice.

@Kamran Bhai

1, Black bumpers: looking good (at least in pictures)

2, Black side stripes: 6/10

3, Front air dam: i didn't noticed earlier. it isn't looking nice. actually i am not a big fan of these air dams.

4, Rims: Why don't you install back the original rims it had (in the first pic of the thread)

5, They couldnt fit BMW lights on it because there is just no room and I hate it but have no other choice: You have to chop the shield to install them.

Ansari bhai,

Original rims are hideous looking at best. As for BMW lights even if they cut the shield there isn’t any room in back of that shield if you look at the engine bay pictures you'll see what I mean.

I am in Los Angeles, California.

Thank you for appreciating my car.

Agreed on intercooler being visible but unfortunately these JTIN's dont have much room unlike American cars where one could effectively hide a tank under hood/bumpers.

I will eventually get something made to hide it but for now I just want to drive the damn thing.

@Kamran bhai
i remember you bought a set from Malaysia. right? Haven't delivered yet?

Saw the pics in previous threads. you are right, air filter has caught a lots of space.

ansarghani (Syed Ansar Ghani) 2010-04-19 16:22:23 +0500 #272

This car of yours is masha Allah stunning!!
yesterday saw a sedan with similar front grill in Peshawar, haven't saw any before in Pakistan.

Ansar Bhai,

I got those TOM's a long time ago (3 months)

Well the intercooler will be the way it is right now untill everything else gets sorted out then I'll look for other alternates.

Thank you

ansarghani (Syed Ansar Ghani) 2010-05-25 06:04:32 +0500 #274

updates??

Asalaam Alekum Ansar bhai,

Yaar car is being worked on but not at the speed I was hoping for.

Got some RECARO seats for it that are being modified for better support

This is the kinda stuff that pushes back some of the less profitable business on back burner
Floyd Mayweathers Jr. MAYBECH getting some custom seats..

I should have the car back some time next week (lets hope)

motivation is running low for me on this car :S Comments are always appreciated

That intercooler makes it look like a time attack racer (Y)

Bro i need to ask you a few questions.
Does the engine fit in it or u had to get some denting done?
What about the braking system? I dont think the original braking system of a MARK II 1974 or 1976 is good enough to stop a 2jz engine. What did you do? It's not easy to change the complete braking system from A - Z. Pls give me some details espeically about the brakes.
Which tie rod rack ends did you fit?
What about the wheel hubs and all? Are they original or you have replaced them?
I guess thats all for now. Looking forward to hear from you. Thankyou.
